Portland, Oregon, USA – January 30, 2006 – ComPiere, Inc., the premier provider of open source business applications, announced a management dashboard for Compiere ERP & CRM, its open source application for accounting, supply chain management, enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management. The new management dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of key performance indicators for an interactive, real-time summary of a company's overall performance. The dashboard enables executives to more effectively implement key business strategies, track corporate and sales objectives, and reach company performance goals.

The management dashboard provides status of key metrics via user-defined, color-coded indicators. Users can drill down through each indicator to obtain details and history for each function, such as the status of a call center inquiry -- open, pending, closed -- or the history of sales by month.

Functions that can be tracked through the new management dashboard include the following:

Revenue by project or region

Open invoices

Shipment quantities

Call center inquiries

Sales queues

Management by objective achievements

Jorg Janke, Founder of Compiere, said, "With the addition of the management dashboard, executives can more easily manage the overall performance of the company. Added to the flexibility and adaptability of the Compiere solution, the dashboard can help to improve the performance potential of the entire organization. Every employee can track the progress and status of individual, group or company goals."
